A Whisky Insurance.

Snow, sir, 1 am general agent for
The Great American Whisky Insurance
Company, and am trying to establish
a local branch in the family of every
respectable tippler. Now listen to my
scheme:
"One gallon of whisky costs about
three dollars, and contains on the Az.
erage sixty-five ten-cent drinks Now,
if you must drink whisky, buy gallon
and make your wife the bartender;
then, when you are dry, give her ten
cents for q drink. When the whisky
is gone she will have, after paying for
it, three dollars and fifty cents left,
and every gallon thereafter will yield
the same profit. This money should be
put away in the savings bank, so that
when you have become an inebriate,
unable to support yourself, and stunned
and despised by every respectable per-
son, your wife may have money enough
to keep you until your time comes to
fill drunkard's grave"

A Very Singular Accident.

FROM the new 1Ork world.
BY an explosion OF sewer gas III a
manhole at the southwest corner OF
Bayard Street and the Bowery, short
~ before 3 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, 81 horse was severely injured
and q man slightly burned about the
face. The mauholeis located beneath
the Bayard Street crossing and is COW
cred by perforated iron lid. At the
moment of the explosion 81 two-horse
truck belonging to Newss & Brother,
butchers, of Allan and Delaney
Streets, driven by George Page, was
passing. and it is supposed that a
spark from the granite pavement by
the horses shoe, iguited the gas as it
filtered through the manhole cap. The
noise OF the explosion brought host
OF frightened people to the doors and
windows in the neighborhood, and
caused a stampede among the pedes-
| TRANS near the spot. The heavy iron
cap was blown several feet into the
air aud fell to the street unbroken,
fortunately striking nobody. A vol
ume Of flame followed, and was blown
against the side Of one Of the horses
by the heavy wind, burning it fatally,
it is feared, and singing the beard on
the face of Page, the driver. The
flame almost instantly expired. After
| the cap was replaced no evidence of
| the explosion remained except the in
iured driver and horse. The former
went home and the latter was taken
| to it's stable.

The fact il, 1t would be far better to turn the

be far less danger OF scratches, mud-feyers.
